i want my own reputation
i can't believe that i don't
i can't stand this ugly situation
i just want what i want
i want to be just like my daddy
then i could drive anything
i could take my own self fishin'
oh what a joy that would bring
i want my own reputation
i can't believe that i don't
i can't stand this ugly situation
i just want what i want
i just want to be where everybody knows my name
i got to find a girl just like my mama
then i won't never burn the toast
when i find her i'll introduce her to my family
we'll see who they 'ppreciate the most
i want my own reputation
i can't believe that i don't
i can't stand this ugly situation
i just want what i want
I just wanna be where everyone knows my name
i can't understand my little brother
he don't like to see my magazines
he always cries for mama when we wrestle
he's been more like a sister to me
i want my own reputation
i can't believe that i don't
i can't stand this ugly situation
i just want what i want
i don't like my own reputation
if you ask i'm gonna tell you the same
i got to change this bad situation
i want to be where everybody knows my name
